"A delicious portrait of ennui ... As a comment on the pitfalls of being a young artist in London Susan Finlay's debut is touchingly accurate." Time Out "Somewhere between the back-stabbing materialism of American Psycho and the nihilistic grubbiness of Withnail and I ... An enjoyable satire." Art Review "Arriviste is packed full of the sights, sounds, people and textures of early 21st Century London life. Its chapters provide you with luxurious contemporary details in much the same way as Huysman's Against Nature or even Vonegut's Breakfast of Champions. Painfully convincing and convincingly repetitive." TheHuffington Post
